Not knowing language or culture, I'd say she knotted her scarf, but can't see what she makes of it all.

It starts out a good Penticost description, but the tongues of fire were there. And 5 weeks later, is that Verse 3?

Iâm listening for the trigger sign. Nope, donât hear it today, maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile, Iâm displeased with âIraq over two years.â I mean what if it were 1 or 20, the important thing is to say 2, not two â symmetry with 1700, or, er, 17,000. No stick with two and seventeen hundred, itâs prosaic that way, not that killer math.

A cute story with some funny prose. The title doesn't fit - dragons and backpack.

Splitting the years into pieces to please, some time pleasing here, some there, splitting gears, split by peers. Think I'll stay home.

But I think you do have fancy architecture.
It's sad that being built to love and understand, we're often hating and misunderstanding.

Why is she in the men's residencia?
Is she a she? The scarf implies so.
Why is hermano not Hermano?
Is a hacienda a residencia? Not ordinarily.
Why are housewives in a men's residencia?
Why capital Heaven, but not church?
How does she know tomorrow's headlines?
Last line is good.

How long is "almost a few years"?
How long is "always forever"?

The prodigious punctuation is distracting. Shorter lines with half as many : " , etc., would be more readable. It rambles too much for "free verse." Prose poem maybe. Still, a good story.

If you post a quote from the King James Version, credit is in order.

The first three verses are good. Then it gets weird. The widow and the girl who died at 20 seem unrelated to the one you start with.
"older than she"

Tender, but too close to the way I really think it will be. Give me imagery to cover my sorrow.

I like the mixture of emotions and the overiding passion. The ~ 's in ther first verse are a nice touch. Wish you'd used them in the second.

Re: Haiku String of the Bee by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk |

I think haiku is not the best form for this. And "love for queen" seems unlikely.
